WILL THIS BE THE BEST SELLING HYBRID IN AMERICA? | 2021 F-150 POWERBOOST

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost hybrid is presented as a compelling option, aiming to be America's best-selling hybrid truck. Its key strengths lie in its impressive power output (430 hp, 570 lb-ft torque), class-leading fuel economy for a gasoline pickup (24-25 MPG combined), and the innovative Pro Power Onboard system, offering up to 7.2 kW of exportable power. The reviewer highlights the utility of the onboard inverters for running tools or even a home, and the comfortable, feature-rich interior, especially the max recline seats and massage function. However, the reviewer expresses some disappointment with the hybrid system's real-world fuel economy when towing, noting it's not significantly better than comparable non-hybrid V8 trucks. The battery size is considered a limiting factor for extended EV driving or significant regenerative braking benefits. Despite this, the F-150 PowerBoost is lauded for its overall capability, quiet cabin, and advanced technology, positioning it as a practical and powerful choice, though the Ram 1500 is still preferred for interior styling and ride quality.
